Sweet! They got those poses from a rather famous picture of 1st Cav troopers un-assing a huey in III Corps. I may just have to pick those figs up!
I wasn’t aware that Hueys came in 1/35. Who makes them?
MRC/Academy makes the B and C models in three or four different versions with different weapons and configurations. They are excellent kits. There is also a B model available from a Korean company, I can’t recall the name, starts with an S. They are not as good as the MRC models, but not that bad either. The only D/H model in 1/35 is by Panda, they also make a couple of modern N models. The Panda kits are not that great. They are upscaled copies of a 1/48 scale Italeri model. Subsequently, most of the parts are too thick and oversized and the detail is heavy, or totally lacking. In 1/32 scale, Revell makes a D/H model that is great for its age, first came out in mid '70s. I would recommend the Revell offering over the Panda kits. Revell also has a AH-1G Cobra in 1/32 that is pretty good. MRC/Academy also has a modern AH-1W Cobra in 1/35 that is excellent too.
Thanks Heavy, This opens a whole new territory for me.
Very Cool!!!
Now if someone would just do a set or two for my Blackhawk, I’d be in seventh heaven!!!

You will LOVE the MRC 1/35 Hueys! GREAT KITS!
Does your board name imply a MOS or Cival job experience?
Czech Master’s Kits has some blackhawk pilots with a door gunner, and a few airborn troops is poses exiting from a blackhawk. I just checked and Great Models still has them listed. They are items cmkf35069, cmkf35070, cmkf35071, cmkf35072.
